Hannah, Hope everything turned out well with your blood work. It's probably a little elevated because of a virus you picked up. It is flu season. Take a good dose of Powdered Vitamin C in 8 ounces of water. Do this everyday for the next 3 days and I'll bet that white count will return to normal. Go to Amazon and get the NOW Vitamin C Brand in Powder form. Each 1/2 teaspoon is worth 2,500 mg of Vitamin C.
